Does adding bigger wheels/tires to my car slow it down? |
I have a cadillac cts that comes stock with 16inch alloy. I would like to upgrade to some 18inch black wheels but a friend of mines told me that i will lose a certain amount of horsepower/torque for every inch i go above the factory specs. A friend of mines had a 2000 pontiac grand prix that came with 16inch alloys and when he upgraded to 18inch wheels his car did seem a bit slower. What do you think? Do you think adding bigger wheels and tires to a car slow it down? If so, by how much?
